    Is proxel 106 a suitable preservative to be used for hand soaps ??? 

    No.    It’s formaldehyde with CMIT/MIT.  The formaldehyde is not needed - as it shares efficacy with CMIT.  It’s intended for paints coatings etc. where manufacturing contamination is typically pretty bad and the two strong preservatives help against resistance development..  Think some folks consider formaldehyde presence in head space in can discourages mold.

    Do you know the percentage of formaldehyde and CMIT/MIT in proxel 106? @PhilGeis
